Thackeray at Partisan Dinner Party
From Scribner's Magazine for July.


Sunday morning passed the morning
yesterday writing the scene of play, so witty
and diabolical that | shall be curious to
know if it is good; aud went to the pictures
again. and afterward to Lady Castlereagh
and other polite persons, finishing the after
noon dutifully at home. and with my aunt
and cousins, whom you would like. At dinner
at Gudin's there was a great stupid COM
pany, and / sat between one of the stupid
est and handsomest women | ever saw in
my life, and lady to whom l made three
observations which she answered with
oui, monsieur, and non, monsieur, and
then commenced a conversation over my
back with my handsome neighbor. If this
is French manners, says L, civility be
hanged and SO | ate my dinner; and did
not say one word more to that woman.
But there were some pleasant people in
spite of her; a painter portrait) with a
leonine name, Mr.. Gigoux, that took a
liking to; an old General, jolly and gentle
manlke; humorous Prince, agreeable and
easy and a wonderful old buck who was
my pleasure. The party disported them
selves until pretty late, and we went
up into a tower fitted up in the
Arabian fashion and there smoked, which
did not diminish the pleasure of the even
ing. Mrs. L., the engineers wife, brought
me home in her brougham, the great en-
gineer sitting bodkin and his wife scolding
me amiably, about Laura and Pendennis.
A handsome woman this Mrs. L. must have
been when her engineer married her, but
not quite up to her present aggrandized
fortune

that among the guests at this well-known

Detroit. Now Detroit is in Michigan, and
Michigan is State not recognized in Bos-

"Westerner" was ignored, and no more no

BONDURANT A WITNESS.

He ID Sanctim On1ouS-Iook1nE But
Piled the Lash.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept 22.-The convict in
vestigation was continued to-day. The de-
PENDANTS put in further documentary evil
dence from the executive minutes. John w.
helms, ex-Principal Keeper of the Peniten-
tiary, was sworn. His examination covered
the period of his administration from 1877
to 1885. His reports for that period were
put in evidence Mr.. helms tes-
titled to their correctness. He
was examined as to the Bon
durant Camp near Augusta in 1892, and
the Lockett Camp in Dougherty very fully.
He spoke well of all the lessees. He asserted
that the Georgia convict fares better in the
way of food, clothing and housing than
free labor. He said it was impossible to
manage the convicts without whipping
them, and discipline can only be maintained
by ceaseless vigilance and punishment.
LIFE IN DANGER.
Every man who goes near them is in dan
ger of his life.
The letter of Mai. Jackson to j. E. Scho-
field, explaining the money transaction with
Capt James, generating the latter, which
wasrule1 out yesterday, was omitted by
consent.
Capt. Starnes, whipping-boss at the Au-
charge of the convicts and was the only one
authorized to whip them. He spoke
well of Bondurant, but was down on Jop-
lin, whom he finally made leave the
camp.
J. 2. Bondurant was examined at length
this afternoon. He admitted not furnishing
convicts shoes in summer. He said they did
not need them in the brick yard.
STARNEs CALLED A THIEF.
He asserted that he had always bought
all the food, clothing and blankets asked
for, but was informed and had reason to
believe that large quantities had been con-
verted to his own use by Starnes. He gave
the court the names of dozen wit
nesses who could testify to the
facts. Mr.. Bondurant stated that
at one time during the sickness of Starnes,
which 'lasted month or more, he was APP
| pointed temporary whipping-boss and
| whipped the convicts when they needed it.
Mr.. Bondurant is rather sanctimonious-
looking, and is said TO be pillar in the
church. The hearing was adjourned till

names. The strikers quit work as SION as Mr.
Farrell was arrested. The bricklaYers quit
because they could not get material to 60

Exciting Scenes on the Arrival of tn.
Wrecked Italians.

Exciting Scenes the Arrival of the
Wrecked Italians.
New YoRK, March 27th.-This after
noon $40 OF the passengers of the
wrecked steamship Scotia arrived on the
sea-barge Haggerty, at Castle Garden. The
scene that followed beggared description.
They rushed into the rotunda pell-mell,
shrieking and bowling for food like raven
Gus wolves. They crowded round the lunch
tables, climbing over each other and tramp
ling on helpless women and children, and
pandemonium reigned supreme for fully
an hour. 1t is customary to register all
immigrants before they enter the rotunda,
but red tape was broken on this occasion
by Superintendent jackson. The force of
the mass OF people was so great that the
officers who were stationed TO keep order
were swept aside like straws.
THE sEETHING MASS
Could not be restrained. Superintendent
Jackson gave orders TO give them all the
food they needed and charge it to the Com
missioner of Immigration, Then the dis
tributiop of food began. 1t was impossible
to regulate the distribution. Strong men
crowded to the front with uplifted arms
and their eyes starting from their sockets,
CRYING IN ITALIAN, BREAD, BREAD y
surging mob was utterly uncomfortable.
The officers of the Garden aided in the
distribution by throwing Ioaves over tue
heads of the nearest to others of the
crowd. Every time loaf was fired into
the crowd twenty or more scrambled, and
in some cases fought, to get it. Dry bread
was luxury. In short time all the food
was gone. The women and children were
cared for, and milk and beer added to their
portion. The complaints of the unfortu-
nate Immigrants were most unfavorabe to
the company, and particularly to the Cap
tain of the Scotia.
ANOTHER LOT OF RAvESoUs UNFoRTgNATFs.
Seventy additional passengers, who came
by rail from Patchoque, arrived about 8
o'clock tonight They were transferred
from Long Island City on a steamboat
They were even more rayenous than the
others. They were fed at the Garden, a
fresh supply of provisions having been OBJ
tanned. Many of the Italians were sick
from eating after their long fast Several
writhed in agony on the floor of the ro-
tunda. To some of their countrymen who
met them here, the women, who composed,
with their children the largest portion of
the number, complained loudly of their
bad treatment, and said they could not get
food or water enough during the voyage.

CALIFoRNIANs CoMING HoME.-It is not
by any means improbable that the splendid
residences with which the crest OF Califor-
MIA street is glorifed will be occupied
throughout the summer by their million
aire owners. Senator Stanford has returned
from Washington, the Hopkins and Flood
mansions are occupied, and in very few
days Charles Crocker, the Southern Pacific
magnate who. it is stated, has become tired
of New York, will once more take up his
residence in his palatial home on Mob Hill.
The salubrious climate of the Golden State,
varying every SO slightly with the seasons,
he evidently considers preferable to that of
the East. SO that himself, together with all
his family. will be here early in April.
Miss Hattie Crocker, whose marriage to
Mr.. Alexander was to have taken place in
New York, has also decided to allow that
happy event to be celebrated within this
State, the date being set for early in May.
The nnptials will be celebrated in the
quietest manner possible. in consequence
of the death of Mrs C. F. Crocker few
weeks ago.-S. r. Call.
